Pros: Good quality food. Cons: Overpriced…read more I bought a bag containing 3 sourdough bagels and was charged $15. The bagels are good but don't justify the steep price. In comparison Einstein Brothers makes bagels twice the size for half the price. They charge $12 for a loaf of bread when the same size and quality of loaf costs $6 at Whole Foods.

But also we just really love making it! Salud!

The place is super casual, mostly open air so bring a sweater because it can get chilly. Five or six seats at the bar, which were full on this visit. If you sit at the bar, you can actually order from the server from your seat which I do like. otherwise stand in line ...order and pay and they give you a number... food, comes out very quickly. On this visit, I just had a fish taco. They give you a choice of grilled or fried I chose grilled. My son got poke nachos and a fried fish, taco and guacamole and chips. I shared his guac and chips and took a bite or two of his pokey nachos. The food is very consistent fresh and delicious Happy hour drinks are all beer and wine. They have a very streamlined selection. There are five beers I believe and as far as wine, there's one sauv Blanc one Chardonnay, one rosé, and one red. Nothing fancy very basic but palatable wines.

Very poor service. The female cashier appears to be selective in allowing who can sit. When our…read moreparty of 5 came we were told to wait a few minutes While we waited, male cashier would come by and asked about our party. He began to put together two empty tables together for us but the female cashier returned and told him not to. Meanwhile a few other couples came in after us and sat at the large tables of four. After waiting 20 minutes we finally got a table. Ordering our food at the counter is a bit different but I guess people are use to it. Price is reasonable.

The boy put in the note on the site to please give us the table by the beach. Mins bday. They gave us a wonderful table & MIL got to stare at the the beach the entire time. A LOT of happy sighs from her. We all loved our entrees - I had the fish tacos & lovvvvvvved them. All the other entrees looked amazing. We then ordered the Hula Pie & peanut butter toffee torte. Hula pie was absolute!ly delicious (MIL never orders/eats dessert) and she devoured both!! Literally cannot say too many good things about this pie!! Macadamia nut ice cream, about a foot high & smothered in hot fudge! Cmon!!! The torte was okay but the crème brûlée banana that came with it was also wonderful!!! Colton was our server and was on top of everything Warm, funny, knew when to come check on us, not a botherer at all! But in everyone we met, they were nice, welcoming & professional. The ambience seems like a typical bar/restaurant but the beach but it's more than that! The prices were a lot lower than I thought they would be & the valet is only $8 (before 4)! Looks like they might have street parking and there is a public lot across the street but it was a weekend and fairly busy. My MIL can't wait go back. She mentioned it in the restaurant, getting the car, getting out of the car & when we got back to her place. She loved her birthday so much, thank you Jake's!!

Out of all…read morethe Nick's locations, this one was by far in the best location in terms of things to do around and accessibility with parking (though it is only 2 hours free). The restaurant was beautiful and extremely clean. The ambience was really inviting and warm. The service was definitely top tier. We ordered a lot, which we started with the asparagus fries and california salad. For entries, we ordered the sea bass, fried chicken, and bistro plate. All of them were super delicious! We really appreciated the portion sizes as well. Out of all the dishes, the sea bass was the best. The fish basically melted in your mouth. Lastly, 100% order the butter cake. It's what Nick's is known for. It comes with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can easily share this with 2-3 people.

AMAZING SERVICE!…read more Hubby and I spent our 1 year anniversary dinner at Nick's. The menu is limited but for good reasons. The drinks and food is amazing and meets beyond expectations. Our waitress, Kassidy, did an amazing job greeting us and telling us the highlights of the menu. She even went the extra mile to tell me I had a shopping tab attached to my shirt and she was very discreet in telling me and removing it. Thank you Kassidy! I got the bistro plate. The meat was very well seasoned to my liking. The salad was delicious and never had one like theirs. The tomato soup was flavorful. I thought I would be hungry afterwards but it really filled me up. They also ended the night with giving us a chocolate cake to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you for making this an amazing experience for us!

I'm shocked this place doesn't have a higher rating…read more Service is TOP notch, atmosphere is wonderful, and food is yummy! Funny enough - my fiancée and I have been her three times and have sat in the same booth all three times.

No need to fight over the last piece. Ha!

Ambience- the location speaks for itself There is beauty everywhere How can you not be in a good mood sitting here in this restaurant? We sat outside by the water fountain/pond I will say now it would have been great to have music but I don't recall hearing any! Food we started with the coconut shrimp I will say these were a little over done to my liking But the sauce and mixture with the coconut was done nicely without being overpowering. Salads we had the Caesar salad- real dressing so heads up if you prefer bottle version. Nice croutons not big portions. Dinner: my husband as always did the filet with jumbo shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus and I ordered the Wagu burger. For the record if you go back into any and most of my reviews I order fish and especially on the water in San Diego but I couldn't help but notice the guys burger next to me and well I ordered it. I am so happy I did too!!! So it was one of the best damn burgers I have had in a long long time! Geez was it good My husband's filet was cooked perfectly he loved that it wasn't tiny! The Mashed potatoes seasoned and flavorful! Dessert: I did a crème brûlée- it was good but if I come back it won't be for the crème brûlée! It will be for that beautiful, burger!!! Well done Brigantine!

I'm sorry to say this but the Brigantine strikes again and not in a good way. We went to the IB…read moreBrigantine a few weeks ago. Despite their over-the-phone assurance prior to that visit that a particular menu item, Crab Stuffed Tiger Shrimp, was available, it was not. I wrote a Yelp review describing our experience that day and quickly got a very nice message (I assumed from management) expressing their desire to make things right but that response was taken down in less than 24 hours before I had a chance to reply. Fast forward to a couple days ago, August 3rd. A much-cherished friend and I had to be in the Del Mar area on 8/3, so a week before, I called them and asked if the stuffed shrimp shown on their menu was available and, if so, were there any time restrictions. The person I spoke to stated that it was available and could be ordered any time we came in. I was so happy to hear that after not being able to get it at the IB location. When we went to the Del Mar location on 8/3 in the afternoon, I tried to order it and was told by the server, who was not at all friendly, that the kitchen was closed until 5:00pm and that we could only order off the Oyster Bar menu. Note that the online hours don't state that the "kitchen" hours are different than the "Oyster Bar" hours. Perhaps that explains why the woman over the phone stated that the stuffed shrimp can be ordered at any time. If this is true, I respectfully suggest they update the hours shown online. Quite disappointing that once again despite reassurances, I was not able to order my favorite thing on the menu that's always available at the La Mesa and downtown San Diego locations (regardless of the time) AND is also on the IB and Del Mar menus. Our server on 8/3 was not the least bit welcoming but everyone else was nice. He came by quickly enough upon us selecting our table but didn't bother to welcome us even or introduce himself and after 15-20 seconds of uncomfortable silence, he finally just asked if we wanted something. To his credit he did bring us what we ordered (except the shrimp of course!) fast enough but after that walked by our table many times and only stopped by once when we flagged him down and once after that to tell us he was leaving and that Gabby would be taking over....maybe hoping that we would close out right then so as not needing to share his tip with her. We were not done yet, so Gabby did take over and she was terrific; and quite a contrast to the original server whose name I never got. I'm a South County resident so not at all likely to return to the Del Mar Brigantine in the future especially knowing the shrimp might not be available. My final comments...and sorry for being so "wordy" here is that the doors facing the racetrack were wide open which let in the very warm and humid air so the ambiance was not comfortable. The restaurant itself is pleasantly clean and beautifully decorated.

It is a spacious room next to the…read moreentry way so depending on where you are seated, you get a clear view of patrons walking in and out of the entrance. Which isn't the most pleasant especially for a busy morning, a lot of distractions and people waiting for their Starbucks cafe coffee. Great service in the morning and very pleasant. I ordered the avocado toast on sourdough bread. I did request for cooked spinach instead of the raw arugula (because of the current food contamination!). And it also came with 2 scrambled eggs. The presentation was so delightful and the taste was absolutely delicious! Excellent breakfast. Gave me good fuel for my day! Definitely recommend arterra!
